And how is it going to get there? It is common for build
service (openSUSE's OBS for instance) to disable all internet
connectivity. All things that are necessary for building get
installed by the build service from prebuilt packages _before_
the system is booted. It cannot download additional files
during the build process.
I'm not sure I fully understand, but `dub upgrade` will
download all the dependencies for the current package.
The --cache=VALUE option can be used to specify where you want
them put.
I'm speaking about this:
https://build.opensuse.org/
This is for openSUSE, but Redhat/Fedore, Debian and others have
similar services. They are used to build software packages (RPM,
DEB) for all of a Linux distributions programs and libraries from
the source. Each build starts off with a completely freshly
installed environment (VM), and during it there is not internet
connection. It can only access files from other packages that the
build service has preinstalled into this system (as specified in
the package's dependencies), or the package's source files.
This means that in order to build a DUB based project in such a
system, there must not be external dependencies that DUB itself
downloads. Instead, these dependencies need to be built
separately as *-devel packages and then pulled as build
requirements. Thus DUB needs to be told _not_ to download
libraries, but use those that are already present in the system.
